I've been pickin' on the same back porch since I was just a boy with a dream My daddy had a calf baby horse Way down in the field, running baccer and beans Preacher talk about heaven son, it sure sounds nice At least I can tell them that I had me a slice Nobody singing songs about Virginia But sweet Virginia's always a singing to me Down some old back roads Where the green grass grows On down in the hills Where the folks on horseback rode Lordy, I'll tell the youngins when I grow old What they all told me Lord, they don't never sing songs about Virginia But Virginia, she's always a singing to me I've got a lighter, I've got a bowl I know a spot where the law don't go Now we can smoke something My daddy never grow back in his day Down some old back roads Where the green grass grows On down in the hills Where the folks on horseback rode Lordy, I'll tell the youngins when I grow old What they all told me Son, they don't never sing songs about Virginia But Virginia's, she's always a singing to me
